beloved brethren,

first, just to let you know, inge has approved the taking over of the
basement of her house for twelve hours on the 5th march. so we will be
meeting in portugal place, as ever. instead of our usual friday lunch
at 1 followed by prayer at 2, we invite you to fast with us as we
launch with two hours of praise and intercession to which everyone is
encouraged to come (1-3pm). then at midnight we will again have an
open prayer meeting to which all are encouraged to return. that leaves
nine hours in between that need filling. please come with friends from
church, or college, or wherever. if you want focus, then consider john
17: Jesus prays for God to be glorified (vv. 1-5), the church to be
unified (vv. 6-19), and those not yet in the church to be gathered in
(vv.20-26). we will also have some specific stuff about passion for
life (tim keller is speaking on the 6th and 7th of march), and the
cambridge 7 (who went out to china 125 years ago) to spark further
prayer. and of course, you are free to pray as the Spirit leads.

second, we invite you to this friday's prayer lunch, 1-3pm. contact us for details.

third, i just saw this on the 24-7 website.
<<24-7 Prayer is unleashing a major season of prayer for Europe.
Urgently and unashamedly we are calling people around the world to
join us in an initial 6 months of non-stop prayer for this prodigal
continent.
The call is simple – a worldwide season of 24-7 prayer for Europe
beginning on Friday 26th March 2010 and we are inviting you to take
your place with us praying for the prodigal continent. >>
what do you think? can cambridge be mobilised in a month to pray
non-stop? something to pray about...

fourth, in order to help inspire people with the vision of 24-7
prayer, i have ten copies of red moon rising in my room to be given
away to anyone who wants them, so that they can read them and be
inspired and pass them on to others to read and be inspired and to
pass on to others who... please let me know if you want them. (and
rachel i will try and get yours to your pigeon hole tomorrow).

thankyou for listening. join Jesus (john 17) in prayer to end:

Father, the hour has come!
Glorify Your Son,
that Your Son may glorify You,
as You have given Him authority over all flesh,
that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.

(and all the people said...)
